About the Emeriti

The Emeriti of UNSW are an important group of former Professors and senior officers who have left UNSW after a period of distinguished service to the University and who have been awarded Emeritus status by the UNSW Council.

In awarding the title Emeritus, the UNSW Council seeks to recognise publicly the eminent contribution that these individuals have made to the academic integrity of the University; and to the advancement and development of UNSW as a centre for distinguished scholarship in teaching and research.

The purpose of the UNSW Emeriti is to continue to promote UNSW as an institution for teaching and research excellence; to enhance the continuing professionalism of the Emeriti; and to provide for the fellowship of the members through an active and continuing participation in the life of the UNSW community.

An Honorary Dean, chosen biennially by the Vice-Chancellor, heads the UNSW Emeriti.
